Former White House Chief of Staff and Secretary of Homeland Security John F. Kelly speaks with Colorado State University President Amy Parsons Sept. 6. “When someone says, ‘Is so and so qualified to be president of the United States?’ the answer is no,” Kelly said. “No one is.” Upon further elaboration, Kelly posed the question of what makes for a successful president. “The answer to that is the same thing makes for a successful president from a university, an admiral, a general, a governor — and that is you surround yourself with good people who are not afraid to tell you the truth and who you'll listen to.”
